High-Level Project Summary
Our goal was to develop an app to educate people about the James Webb Telescope launched on Dec 25, 2021, surpassing the already exceptional abilities of the former Hubble Telescope. This app is intended to be a learning-oriented space game, which people will attempt after going through some basic information provided in the app and some links to external sources for further learning. Next, they can start the game by playing as a telescope exploring space with different galaxies and they can further take pictures and the pictures will be shown from NASA's s image library. And the details of that specific location will be displayed on the screen.

Detailed Project Description
We believe that right now our country does not compete in the international world. The remediation for this retardation in the advancement of technology and space sciences is that we educate our nation about the Space Sciences and Technology, especially our youth as they are the builders of our future. As it is rightly said,
" A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".
This is the first step of a new beginning, a new beginning of education. It is a new wind of change that will bring Pakistan on the map of the astronomy world. Although our project was not completed it is in a very initial stage but our vision is very impactful and we want to change the world by bringing out more and more talent from Pakistan to the world.

Overall, it was a great learning experience and a great opportunity for us to socialize and connect with our fellow developers.
